The Clinic surpassed my expectation when it came to providing ON Time service for my appointment. The Doctor and his staff were most respectful of my time which I think is rare in most medical situations.

Excellent Physician. Took time to explain things and was gentle.

Reviewed on Aug 6, 2018

Dr. Prendes was exceptional! He took a lot of time explaining everything to me that I asked and then some. I had a procedure in his office, a ultrasound guided biopsy of a tumor and he was very gentle and calming. He explained everything that he was going to do before he did every step of the way. He was recommended to me by friends who had seen him for their own problems and I also would highly recommend him to my friends and family.
